there is a focal ps 165 v1. Which amplifier to choose for it.?
Which is better to choose audison sr 4.500 (130 rms in 1 ch) or audison sr 4.300(85 rms in 1 ch)
Or tell me some other amplifier.
It's hard to choose))

Flip a coin both will work just fine. Both are high quality amps and while I like more power 85w is still plenty
 
Here is my thought, theory. Those speakers are 80w rms. Half of that is 40w rms. Add the 40 to the 80 and you get 120w. Get an amp that is 120w rms per channel and set the gains correctly. You will have some headroom to play with and those speakers and your ears will thank you. While playing music you do not get a constant power to the speakers. Under normal listening you may only be giving your speakers 50ish watts of power or less... or more. When you want some volume and you feed those speakers their rated 80w they will be loud AND clean and when the peaks come, you will have the power (headroom) the speakers want for those quick peaks without breaking your speakers.
